MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

coolcat01 Thanks to the groundbreaking work of modern tv legends, Key and Peele, cat's finally have an action hero to look up to. I saw John Wick and thought it all fell apart in the first act - who would start a gang war because of a lousy dog?! But a cat in the titular role? Now you have my attention!

Prismark10 Rell (Jordan Peele) is a slacker just dumped by his girlfriend when suddenly a cute kitten shows up which cheers him up. He calls the kitten Keanu. When Keanu goes missing he gets his cousin Clarence (Keegan-Michael Key) to get the kitten back. Clarence is a nice guy whose wife has gone for the weekendIt turns out a local drugs gang might had mistakenly taken Keanu so Rell and Clarence adopt a gangster persona to get in with them. However the two then fall foul of two hit men the Allentown Boys.This is a rather a hit and miss action comedy with an absurd premise which makes little sense. I felt it was too uneven, rather undeveloped but it gets better as it goes along. Probably when George Michael starts singing Faith in a hazy drug induced dream sequence where Keanu speaks with the voice of Keanu Reeves.

dsalouk Keanu is the epitome of the Key and Peele skits pumped with a larger budget and movie-like steroids. Spear-headed by an experienced director; Peter Atencio, Keanu is a perfect blend of comedy and action. The film funnily revolves around a cute kitten named Keanu whilst two simple suburban men have to build cliché tropes around them to blend in. Key and Peele both show off their amazing acting talent in their different personas. There are repercussions to actions, there are first experiences, and there are strange relationships. All in the name of comedy. A strange fixation on George Michael is a running gag that helps lighten the cliché runaround. Keanu is a simply fun ride.

movieguy96 I've just seen this on a Sunday night. I was in an undemanding mood, and in need of a laugh. What I got was a film which satisfied not just as a comedy but as a fully rounded movie about friendship. There is a heart at the centre of this strangely sweet story, and it's all thanks to the considerable talents of Jordan Peele and Keegan Michael-Key, both instantly likable as the hapless cousins in way over their head. I was surprised by the fresh twists the movie gives which marks it out from the usual fare which has been churned out lately. For starters, the decision to treat the gang members, for which our heroes join, as constructive plot devices for the film and not just background caricatures means we do ultimately care about their fate, especially as each party is able to learn something new about the other. For example, George Michael IS the real OG.There is also a certain emotional edge to the piece too - we see at one point a real personal issue affect one of our duo, and this for me made it more accessible for me to invest in the characters and also show these are people too, which the writers have put some care into.The relative low budget for Keanu is put to good measure as well, with the slow motion shoot-outs fitting in nicely alongside the quirky scenes early on of Peele getting to know the cute feline. Nothing felt too overblown or contrived to fit the context of the scene.The tight supporting cast deserve kudos too. The appearances of Anna Faris and Luiz Guzman do lend more of a B- movie star appeal, but I also loved Will Forte's role as a failure of a weed dealer, constantly being degraded in a series of daft set pieces. Oh yeah and the film star for which the title of the movie lends itself turns up to give some much needed advice to Key in a particular time of crisis.I really liked this movie, for its offbeat interplay between the immensely endearing pair, and their hilarious transition into inept streetwise crime lords. If you need cheering up this ticks all the boxes. It's not a classic by any means, but it doesn't have to be, and is all the better for not making itself out to be more than what it is.
